The interfacial behavior of Cyanex 272 has been investigated using the Du Nouy ring method. Different adsorption isotherms such as the Gibbs and Szyszkowski isotherms have been found as fitting well to the experimental data. The values of interfacial excess at the saturated interface increase in the following order: n-heptanecyclohexaneCCl4toluenebenzenechloroform, explained according to the stronger solution effect of aromatic hydrocarbon. The effects of temperature, acidity, and ionic strength of the aqueous phase on the interfacial activity of Cyanex 272 are also examined and explained in detail. Moreover, the reaction orders against Cyanex 272 predicted from the interfacial tension isotherms are in agreement with the order determined experimentally, which suggests that the interfacial activity of Cyanex 272 can provide enough strong evidence quantitatively supporting the interfacial mechanism.
